Great video , I have had 2 hips done in the past the last year both anterior Both have turned out great . I am 59 and had really bad arthritis First one had zero issues walking unaided in first week , riding the bike week 3 and in the gym every day till back to work at week 12 I’m now 16 weeks post op on the second one This one had a nerve complication , my femoral nerve was injured / compressed during surgery and I had almost total quad palsy I worked crazy hard at getting things moving again and by week 5 ish I was able to start Pilates which really helped Now I’m still in the gym 5 days a week , lots of hiking in the mountains , back to cross fit , Mtn biking . Strength is almost back to normal , doing 400 lb leg press , Bulgarian split squats , box jumps , dead lifts and almost a pistol squat with my first hip I had very little pain , more pain from the arthritis than the surgery , tramadol for 4 days then Tylenol and Advil for 3 weeks Looking forward to skiing and hockey this coming winter ! Other than the nerve issue the anterior was great I forget I’ve had them done Extremely grateful to have my life back

Yes, the femoral nerve palsy is a real but low risk of the anterior. Glad to hear you recovered. Enjoy the slopes and the rink.

just come across your channel. I had posterior surgery five weeks ago, I know people who have had anterior and seemed to have less pain, I have had pain off and on, I spoke with the surgeon and he arranged an appointment to see him last week and to also have a X-ray, everything was fine with the implant, I was told my pain was inflammation, I am hopeful that I will soon be 100% In truth I chose the surgeon myself I travelled three hours to allow this surgeon to operate on my hip, when I could have travelled 15 min to another hospital, why because I felt comfortable with my choice of surgeon, I read his bio and I was impressed, but the big factor was I liked the man he was, he did not rush me into surgery and I felt he cared about my future plans once I was fully recovered, I never asked why he chose the posterior approach.

A good relationship with your doctor is always important. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thank you very much!! I was worried about getting the posterior approach. Everyone is saying anterior, anterior but I have selected based on my surgeon and he performs posterior. This helps to put my mind at ease.

Glad it helped!

Great information. It's hard to know which approach is not just better, but better for my hip anatomy.
